One of the biggest surprises of the fall ... Transferred to Tech from Liberty University ... Pitched well in practices following a slight mechanical change ... Impressed the coaches with his control and consistency ... A hard thrower with a good slider ... Competes on the mound ... Just needs to get his feet wet ... Has the potential to throw a lot of innings ... Could compete for a starting spot ... Should continue to improve as he grows and matures.
Liberty: Was redshirted during the 2004-05 school year before transferring to Tech.
High School: Played his senior year at Southwest Guilford ... Had a 1.50 earned run average on the way to all-area and all-conference honors ... Attended Oak Hill Academy in Virginia prior to his senior year ... Was team MVP as a pitcher his junior year ... Played basketball at both schools.
Personal: Rhett Christopher Ballard ... Born 11/13/85 in Greensboro, NC ... Son of Rick and Diane Ballard ... Enrolled in history.
